r/Tradingcards

Hey everyone,                                                                                                                                     

FIRST - I apologize if this violates any rules and I understand if it must be removed. I just wanted to share a passion project of mine...                                                                                   

I built https://thecardharbor.com because I was frustrated juggling spreadsheets and multiple apps to track my collection across different games. It's free and I'd love feedback from people who actually collect. I know that there are a lot of products out there to track collections, but I hope this provides some features that others don't.

I have spent months on this project, and I welcome the feedback.

  What makes it different:

  - Multi-game, one dashboard — Pokemon, Lorcana, and Star Wars Unlimited all in one place. Many trackers only handle one game.

  - Cards AND sealed products — Track booster boxes, ETBs, bundles, and UPCs alongside singles. Log purchase prices, see current market values, and know your actual ROI on everything. (Japanese set tracking is limited to 151, but if people want this, I can expand it)

  - Built-in trading — Set up a want list and get matched with other users who have what you need. There's a reputation system so you can vet traders before proposing.

  - Camera scanning (beta) — Point your phone at a card and AI identifies it. Not perfect yet, but way faster than searching manually when you're cataloging a stack.

  - Import your existing collection — CSV import from spreadsheets, TCGPlayer, or Dreamborn so you don't start from scratch.

  - Daily pricing — Pulls from TCGPlayer and eBay automatically. Set price alerts to get notified on drops or spikes.

There's also set completion tracking, a deck builder with format validation (and AI-based Auto complete that tries to match your cards to strategies and known meta), a grading pipeline with AI pre-grade estimates and ROI calculator, community profiles with game account linking (TCG Live, Pokemon GO, TCG Pocket), and more.

Free vs. premium

The core experience is completely free — collection tracking, trading, pricing, community features, all of it. There's an optional premium tier ($5/mo) that adds unlimited camera scans, longer price history, certain exports, and unlimited price alerts. Honestly it's mostly there to cover server and API costs — daily price syncs across thousands of cards, AI scanning, and database hosting add up quick as a solo dev. I'd rather keep the core free and let people who get extra value chip in to keep the lights on. But I'll take feedback here too. I honestly just want to release a useful tool.

I'm a solo developer so there are definitely rough edges. There's a feedback button on every page — I read every report and usually fix things within a day or two.

Check it out at https://thecardharbor.com and let me know what you think!

Here are just a few screenshots of the features that are built.

I have put off posting this for months, because I know that there are issues that people will find no matter how much I have tried to polish the app! If you don't like anything, please let me know. Everything is open for change if someone will find it helpful! If you think it is too similar to another site, let me know what would differentiate it. I have spent a lot of time on this, and would love to make a helpful tool for this community!

P.S. I know it doesn't have MTG... But I think that community is well served by other products. If you disagree, let me know! I'd be open to discussing adding MTG capabilities if there is something that is needed!

Here goes nothing!

Sometimes you don’t have to pay a fortune for a vintage Mickey Mantle. Here is my 1962 Post Mantle that $50 for. A card like this is still a 10 for me.

Use my referral code for a free digital Pokémon pack. You can sell the cars back to the app instantly or have them shipped. I turned my first free pack in to $140 and withdrew it. Use my referral link to win on ! Enter code PFOKUTJ and get a card pack for free. App is called triumph

Getting into sports cards breaks over on tik tok username: Big Red Breaks. Would appreciate it if you’d check it out and give any suggestions/things you’d like to see. Thanks everybody

I went to my parents house a couple of weeks ago. Found pokemon cards I have bought.And forgot about from 2006-2009

PWE in Card Saver I. Great piece for people who enjoy tracking off-season drama.
